The exposure draft of the much-anticipated new Aged Care Act was released on 14 December 2023. The new Act will replace the current Aged Care Act 1997 (Cth) and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission Act 2018 (Cth).
At more than 320 pages in length, it’s a hefty read. While we are still working through the finer details, in this episode we discuss our preliminary thoughts and observations about some of the issues in the exposure draft.

This has prompted the publication by the Department of updated guidance material in the Program Manual and FAQ document.
Given the ongoing confusion over this issue, we thought it would be useful to discuss the law and guidance material.
